Description Ben Cottrell 2026-01-07 06:28:17 UTC 
Description:
Having to close the style editor dialog box, and then to right click on another style to edit, adds another unnecessary click. Maybe the dialog box should not be modal?

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the styles pane
2. Right click on a style to bring up the dialog box
3. Once the dialog shows, another style in the style pane can't be selected, as it is modal.

Actual Results:
Other style could not be selected.

Expected Results:
I could switch to another style, as the dialog would not be modal.


Reproducible: Always
